karenina is a poet who believes poetry is the DNA of our souls. Throughout the ages poets have been creating a unique perspective of the world; from historical events to the most intimate moments of human interaction. Writing is a process much like birth! Joyful, laborious,
painful, and always a journey to creation! I hope to learn from others as I travel this path. My intention is to offer comments of merit that will lift us both. I appreciate honest and respectful reviews, and shall offer the same... |
